We started the evangelistic conference on Saturday evening thinking that we would not have any visitors this time. About twenty minutes into the conference a visitor came in with one of the ladies (Jacqueline) that comes to the church every now and then. Praise the Lord that He answered our prayers and we had someone come for the conference. The visitor’s name is Miriam. We were able to give her a Bible and a tract that explained the gospel and speak with her a couple minutes Saturday night after the conference. Sunday morning, came as a big surprise for us, Miriam came again and was there for a part of the morning service. Praise the Lord that this lady has shown some interest in spiritual things. Please pray that she would read the Bible that we gave her and the tract and understand the Gospel message. Also, for those who understand a little French if you would like to watch the video of the conference follow the link below.
Monday, we went to a city next to Saint-Gaudens along with two men from the church (Yann and Michel) called Montréjeau. We went to take a look at the market there in the town and see if it would be possible to setup our Bible stand on Mondays. The market is a very nice market with quite a few people. Please pray that we would receive permission to setup our Bible stand. We were instructed that we would need to write a letter to the mayor of the city asking for permission. We were also told that receiving permission would probably be difficult since the mayor is not very open to religious things. Please pray for wisdom and that the mayor would have an open heart so that we can setup the Bible stand.
Monday evening, Yann and I were able to head back to Miramont to continue knocking the doors there in town. God again answered our prayers and prepared the way for us as we went through the town. On a couple different occasions the Lord allowed us to explain fully the gospel message to people. Two of the people we met were teenage boys who were walking down the road. Both are gypsies and have some religious background, but both admitted that they were lost and heading to hell. We were able to explain the gospel message to both. Please pray for these two young men. We also were able to speak with a man name Frederick. Frederick was very open to what we were saying. He even admitted that if he were to die that he would like to have his relationship with God in order. Please pray that as we go back on Wednesday evening to give to him a Bible that he would be maybe ready to trust Christ as his Savior. It would be a great joy and encouragement to see someone come to Christ through the outreach of our church here in Saint-Gaudens. Please also pray that as we continue the door-to-door ministry that we would come in contact with others who are ready to hear the message of salvation. We will be heading out again on Wednesday to knock more doors.
